Is it just me or do we have extremely small PM boxes? I've had to clear out my box every month or so and it's getting very irritating and difficult to do business. Can you please increase the PM box size?

PM box size is fine, you can always use your own personal points of contact for business (which I recommend) or clean out your PM box more regularly.

Yea, seeing as its such a large community, with so many active members, they have to keep PM box size small (space + bandwidth i guess).

As Julian said, use one PM to send your Personal points on contact, and work fromt here

PM space uses little to no bandwidth nor space

Very true, but does anyone really need to keep 100+ PM's? Why not just clear it out every week or so? I have the same restrictions as all of you and it rarely gets full up.

Open your pm box, open your Important Message, open notepad, open firefox again, click in the beginning of your PM, and keep holding your mouse, just like you would have moved an icon on the desktop. After you have selected the text you need (text becomes blue) you right click, go to 'copy' and left click. Then, go to your notepad, right click somewhere and go to 'paste'. then click. When all has gone good, you now have your Important PM in your notapad file, and after you saved it 'file - save' you can delete your Important message from your inbox.

anyway, long story short, create a folder on your desktop, and put all your messages there in a .txt file.PMboxes fill fast, but i bet it would take up quite a bit of space to give all (dunno how many thousand) members more space.

Recently I have been doing alot of busness through PMs and since it is also including sent PMs I have been filing my box in a day. THis is very annoying when I want to keep track of a business transaction.

I think 100 would be much better, or just have after 100 posts it allows more.

PM boxes are too small. NamePros has a 1500 limit, why can't we get atleast 150?
